Extra Information quoted from here
--> "In Korea, there are different types of duk(traditional rice cakes), with ingredients, shapes and tastes varying from region to region. Specific cakes are served at specific occasions. Duk is made mainly from rice or glutinous rice that has been ground up, steamed, turned into dough and stuffed with a variety of sweet fillings before being transformed into dumplings or bread-like cakes. The taste and texture is similar, perhaps, to certain types of nonya kueh or mochi, the equally chewy Japanese version of glutinous rice cakes."


In Hankook, for their duk milk, eggs, butter or preservatives are not used. Therefore it is healthy and suitable for vegetarians.
They have a box of samples and i tried
시 루 dduk which consists of red bean.
Unlike the red bean we tried, the taste of 'si ru dduk' isnt sweet.
The lady recommended me to try 바 람 dduk which is a crescent-shaped dumpling filled with red-bean paste and air, sealed in like a balloon.
Though 'ba rum dduk' like 'si ru dduk' consists red bean, the latter one taste better.

Overall the taste wasn't much to my liking even though i like korean food and unlike ladyironchef, i did not bought any back home.
Thumbs up for the service and for Mrs Kim to set up an authentic rice cake stalls!
